your tank is too small for an anemone but there are other things that you can have that the clowns might host in including frogspawn coral or a brain coral or a leather.
it is hard to keep a small tank stabil enough for an anemone anyway |

Yeah, any of the hosting species will likely outgrow your tank pretty fast...kinda disappointing, isn't it? I won't be able to get my Ocellaris a nem until I upgrade either.

Yep, they will host just about anything that they want...frogspawn is a good substitute host. I've had mushrooms work, star polyps, xenia, zoanthid mats, heck, even a feather duster(craziest darn thing I've ever seen). Pretty much anything in the tank that is alive CAN be a host. Whether your clowns WILL host anything at all is really up to them...

that is false gsmguy. you can definetly keep a bta in a 10 gallon. go to nanoreef.com almost all those guys over there are doing it with alot of success. ive even had a pair of clowns spawn with a bta in a 10 gallon.

ok put a bta in when it takes over the whole tank trade it for a smaller one
 i can only advise from my own experience with my 20g and it is difficult to keep all the params in check. i do keep a BTA in there but it would take up the whole 10g tank and its not even that big. also ocellaris are not totally proven with hosting a BTA they often ignore them. but of course there is only one way to know for sure. |
